Immigration Hype
The freeway is between my house and downtown San Mateo, so I rarely go into town in the morning unless I need gas or have a craving for a chai latte. A couple of months ago when I went to get gas I noticed that there were several men lingering on each of the corners…

If you look closely you’ll see me, if you look even closer you’ll see Steve in the reflection in the camera.
Read MoreSay Hello to my Little Friend…
My new 100mm macro lens, not the bead. Isn’t it just wonderful? Many, many exciting pictures to come… I highly recommend that you view the original size, you can see a lot of things that you normally wouldn’t with the naked eye.
Read MorePowerToys for Windows
I’ve been busy with multiple things at work lately and was thinking about how much easier multi-tasking would be if I had virtual desktops. So I did a quick search for “windows virtual desktop” that lead me to this page – Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP – which has quite a few nice toys, in…
Read MoreYogurt Head
For some reason I am extremely amused by Joe’s head disappearing into an empty yogurt container. When he was younger I stuck one of those small yogurt containers on his nose, since then he’s been a little leery of them. This big one is different though, looks like he’s not afraid of it at all…
Read MoreJoe With an 80’s Impression

Read MoreJoe’s Girlfriend, Sammy
Steve’s friend/coworker, Leigh, brought Sammy to our house a couple of times. And each time Joe just goes nuts for her! Normally he’s a little aggressive towards other dogs (at home mostly), but he is just completely smitten with Sammy. He butts his nose into her, which I have never seen a dog do before.…
Read MoreMonterey Bay Aquarium
A couple weekends ago my friend Nicci and I went down to Monterey and took some awesome pictures at the aquarium. We got some great shots of starfish, jellies, and anemones. While we were there they fed the giant octopus, but there were way too many people and it was way too dark to get…

Congratulations, Doug, on correctly guessing last month’s logo, Hewlett Packard. Make sure you take a stab at this month, it’s a little tougher than the last one!
